Exactly a month ago we checked out of Hotel Playa Fiesta and have reminisced about it EVERY DAY since then. When we first saw the hotel, the amazing reviews, and started interactions, with Lindsay, we thought it was too good to be true. We talked to someone who actually had their wedding there too, my brother-in-law's co-worker, who confirmed the pure bliss of Hotel Playa Fiesta. ||I'm here to say, after returning from our trip last month, ITS REAL and it was THE BEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES. Here's why: ||-The entire place to yourselves: You have the entire location to yourselves, no random strangers, just your best friends and family. It creates a cozy and intimate space to reconnect, recharge and play!||-The location: Located south of the city, the location is perfect to get out a bit and....the Ocean is right at your finger tips. It's an ocean front property with two pools and a hot tub. The views from each spot in the hotel are stunning, a little piece of heaven. ||-Hospitality at its finest: Each staff member was so professional, personable and considerate. They carried bags, delivered drinks, helped inflate the pool floats we brought, held our babies when we needed a quick hand (babysitting services available through outside providers too!) and attended to our every need. They knew all of our names immediately and we left knowing theirs because we wanted to! So many of our guests commented on the staff, their kindness and attentiveness. This aspect made us feel so special, and well cared for, it truly was a HUGE part of what made the trip so wonderful.||-Food!: We had the best food for each and every meal, regardless of the meal plan you choose, the food is top tier - no belly bugs, no picky eaters, just delicious. They are also really aware of any and all food allergies and intolerances the entire visit - just let them know! I am not a big drinker and they accommodated me with non-alcoholic options, my partner, however, LOVED the Pina coladas, margaritas and more, maybe a little too much;) The bar tenders were efficient and knew their way around a drink!||-Attention to detail: Having such a niche in wedding events and 4-5 day stays, they have done it all and seen it all. They have such a keen eye to detail, check our their instagram, it is picturesque and each picture is worth 1000 words. @playafiestaweddings ||-Beauty beyond belief: The property, ocean views, rooms, vibes, people, all of it is so beautiful and the fact that they share this little piece of heaven with others is truly such a gift, everything Hotel Playa Fiesta is beyond belief, so incredible. Tropical paradise all to yourselves. ||All this to say, I haven't even started on their wedding coordination services!||-Wedding coordination: BIG shout out to Lindsay and Gabi for their team work and thoughtfulness with helping us plan not only our big day but also the entire week! I like to think of myself as a low key bride, I knew exactly what I wanted, down to earth, but I also had my own ideas. Lindsay and Gabi were immaculate in their assistance, always prompt in responses, reasonable to requests, SUPER accommodating. These humans made our dreams a literal reality. We brought some decorations - they hung them up. I shared pictures and table arrangement ideas - they made it come to life. I wanted a group picture at the beach after our ceremony at the sundeck - they made it happen. Lindsay and Gabi are fine tuned to the most intricate detail, if they can help you make it happen, they will. Lindsay and Gabi were even there the day of our wedding, helping make sure the timeline was aligned, everyone was were they needed to be, things were being set up accurately and that everything went smoothly. I DID NOT have to lift a finger or enlist help to do things like make sure the cake had our wedding topper, make sure my lip color was not lost, set up or tear down tables, heard the guests where they needed to be, nope, the staff did it ALL. Over the course of 18 months planning (it sounds like a long time but truly it was the PERFECT amount of time). This team even helped guide us with their outside vendors and/or alternatives to make things before and day of go smoothly. In the end, I gave them my bride ideas and dreams and they made it come true along with seeing it out to the very very end. THANK YOU!!!!!!||Some tips from a longing bride wanting to return and do it again: ||--Invite all your family and friends! We loved that our small group made it (56 total but they can accommodate more guest at their hotel and sister hotel) and by the end of the trip, everyone we invited that came were all THANKING us for making it happen. It was no longer something they had to do but were excited that it turned out to actually be a vacation and a wedding in once. ||--Stay longer! Our group did the 4 night stay, but you have an option to come earlier, a la carte....DO IT. We flew in early and the moment they opened their doors on Monday afternoon, we were there. We are so happy we came early and stayed until the last minute on Sunday. We didn't want to leave, it was so perfect.||--Ask questions, there is no question to small or too big that this group of incredible humans cannot handle. Downtown dinner reservations, tours and activities on the town, fireworks, stone ceremonies, yoga, euchre tournaments, meals for the kids, modifications for allergies, you name it and they can handle it. ||--BOOK YOUR WEDDING HERE! Do it. We were super apprehensive about booking a place without seeing it so my partner and I went to Mexico and visited Hotel Playa Fiesta on a Monday afternoon. I'm not kidding when I say, the minute we walked into the hotels main area, we looked at each other and immediately knew it was the place. We booked that night and never looked back. For reference: we booked in November of 2022 for a May 2024 wedding and the planning timeline, although it felt long because of our excitement, was ideal. ||--Trust in this and other reviews along with the abilities of Hotel Playa Fiesta: The journey to Mexico, flying internationally (I'm located in Colorado, USA), traveling from the airport (they even helped us coordinate with a transportation team), and staying with the hotel (see all the raving I did above) was seriously amazing. With confidence, I can tell you to book it, even site unseen. ||--Get ready to have the best time of your lives. Having all of our closest family and friends at an ocean front boutique hotel that serves the best views, food, drinks, hospitality was PERFECT. Not ONE shoe dropped. It was the best vacation with the most amazing wedding, ever. ||Mic Drop||-The happiest bride and groom there ever was (Natalie and Alan)
